The SVG surface backend recognizes the following MIME types for the
data attached to a surface (see <a class="link" href="cairo-cairo-surface-t.html#cairo-surface-set-mime-data" title="cairo_surface_set_mime_data ()"><code class="function">cairo_surface_set_mime_data()</code></a>) when

<a class="link" href="cairo-cairo-surface-t.html#CAIRO-MIME-TYPE-URI:CAPS" title="CAIRO_MIME_TYPE_URI"><code class="literal">CAIRO_MIME_TYPE_URI</code></a>. If any of them is specified, the SVG backend
emits a href with the content of MIME data instead of a surface
snapshot (PNG, Base64-encoded) in the corresponding image tag.
</p>
<p>
The unofficial MIME type <a class="link" href="cairo-cairo-surface-t.html#CAIRO-MIME-TYPE-URI:CAPS" title="CAIRO_MIME_TYPE_URI"><code class="literal">CAIRO_MIME_TYPE_URI</code></a> is examined
first. If present, the URI is emitted as is: assuring the
correctness of URI is left to the client code.
